For eight years whenever you read or heard the word economy in relation to the United States it was preceded by the word sluggish. Well that was what the media wanted you to think and it has held back American industry from expanding for fear that another shoe would drop as a result of the doom and gloom forecasts. But the evidence is strongly to the contrary as the real economic indicators point to a very health recovery that has been slow and steady for all those eight years. Jay Lehr, Science Director of the The Heartland Institute explains in this video what the facts really are to support a very optimistic view of the future of the US economy.

Panel 1. The Role of the State and the American Dream
Much of the world applauds and embraces socialism. Is the United States moving in that direction? Is the American Dream still alive? What is the appropriate role of the state in a responsible society?
Panel 2. Freedom and Responsibility
In an age of urbanization and growing populations, is the free movement of people a sustainable option? Do personal responsibility and freedom matter?

In this new book, "Dodd-Frank: What it Does and Why It's Flawed," Hester Peirce and a team of contributors at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University ask whether the law is an effective response to the financial crisis that so deeply rattled our nation. Taking a hard look at the law's celebrated objectives, they reveal that it not only fails to achieve many of its stated goals, it also creates dangerous regulatory pathologies that could lay the groundwork for the next crisis.
